During each cycle, the velocity v (in meters per second) of a robotic welding device is given by v=3t - 7/4+t^2 , where t is time in seconds. Find the expression for the displacement s (in meters) as a function of t if s = 0 when t = 0
For a short time, the path of the plane in the figure is described by y = (0.001x^2) m. If the plane is rising with a constant velocity of 10 m/s, determine the magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration of the plane when it is at y = 100 m.
An object with mass m moves along the x axis. It is observed to have a velocity in the positive x direction with a magnitude of c_1t^2 where c_1 is a positive known constant and t is the time in seconds. At t=1s it's observed to be at the point x=D. When does the object reach x=2D?
